<p><b>The Red Curtain</b><br />
<br />
The girl who sat behind the red curtain<br />
so uncertain of her young life's burden <br />
was not me.<br />
I was sweeping dust bunnies<br />
from beneath the seats, <br />
every crack and squeaky creak<br />
a mumur of encouragement.<br />
<br />
But I saw her when she peeked <br />
from behind the drape a tousled head,<br />
her dainty frown the only line<br />
in that broad expanse of red.<br />
<br />
And when she chose to disappear<br />
from that dark crimson veneer<br />
I was left to ponder through the night<br />
about what kind of awful fright<br />
she may have seen. Was it Life?<br />
A sea of soulless fabric chairs? <br />
The dilapidated dreams<br />
and all the scattered prayers?<br />
<br />
Or perhaps her well kept plans<br />
had unfurled a different way,<br />
perhaps she left to dance<br />
in a different colored land<br />
on another curtained stage. <br />
<br />
<br />

Most people are on this world, not in it -- they have no conscious sympathy or relationship to anything about them -- undiffused, separate, and rigidly alone like marbles of polished stone, touching but separate. ~ John Muir <br />
